Lead a discussion to answer the question, //How do I plan a healthy, nutritious diet?// and the question, //Why is eating the recommended servings from each food group everyday as well as eating a wide variety of foods from each food group important?// <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Students will be Pre-assessed to evaluate their understanding of the Food Plate. Students will be creating a Food Plate using media or paper to demonstrating their knowledge. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">For the next five days, have students keep a [|food diary] of everything they eat and drink. Include a weekend day to see if eating habits are different from the rest of the week. At the end of the five days, have students use the [|daily food diary spreadsheet] template to record the total number of servings they ate from each food group. They can then find the daily average of servings from each group, and compare it to the recommended number of servings. Lead a discussion with students about the outcomes of poor nutrition.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">Collaboration: Students will participate in small groups to produce bi-monthly healthy living podcast. After doing your comparison how can your family change their eating habits? <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">They will be given time to compose in their journal a response addressing “Describe two health problems that could arise as a result of poor nutrition and explain what changes in eating could help avoid them.”

They will produce an advertisement for healthy living. The advertisement could be for a magazine, a radio commercial or a television commercial.

Students will have choices on the product they produce which will address the differentiation piece, which is where you can also address the GCT and IEP students. Students will have to have an understanding that food has multiple purposes. To do this, some whole group instruction will be necessary. Small groups will be utilized for multiple pieces of the project, while individual components will also be included. The final project will be comprised of individual recipes combined in a fourth-fifth grade cookbook. // **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Gifted Student ** **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Special Needs Student **
